I've got a working offline Witech. The first one I ordered would not connect to the CRD no matter what I tried. Had to send it back. Hopefully I get a refund on that one. The second I just got and it connected successfully. I didn't have time to try anything as my wife was leaving on a week long trip with the CRD. I'll find time to play with it when she returns. This can also do DRBIII, but I guess my 06 is Witech friendly.

To get it working I had to use the HDD supplied with the Witech and install it in my laptop. It has windows 7 and the Witech program preinstalled.

You have definitely got my attention!Is this functioning as a fully featured Wi-tech / Starscan / DRBIII?Is the HDD solid state? external USB type?Will it only work with Win v7?Where to buy?

This is the unit that arrived today. It can't read the VIN number and won't communicate with the BCM.

This is the same as

I then bought a preloaded HDD and got the micropod to connect, but the VIN wouldn't populate and it could NOT read the ECU.

But my unit didn't come with a hard drive.

Please let me know the model number of the working unit (non working as well if you still have it).Please post a link to the other forum with the recommendation to a working unit.

That looks just like both of my micropods. The one I returned and the one I currently have look identical. The new one connects, but the other one didn't.

I think the preloaded HDD is the key to getting it to work. I know they do more than just load the software on it. They work some magic in the background. Without it I don't think the average Joe will be able to get it to work.

Please PM me if you want the link to where I purchased it. I don't want to post it publicly.

Sorry I haven't had time to play with the software much as I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel and it consumes all my free time. I will update this thread when I do.

Well.... I think I did it. Witech has an option under the SKREEM menu to disable/enable TPM.

You need the 4 digit PIN code for your vehicle to do it. I typed it in, clicked next, clicked on the disable button and got a message that the TPM was disabled. The TPM light came on and the dashed chimed. I then went to the CCN menu and cleared the learned functions in the cluster. The TPM light went out and hasn't come back on since. I've driven it about 20 miles and no TPM light.

I have been fighting the TPMS system for 2 years, and must have spent $400 on various sensors, a new SKIM/SKREEM (and keys) and an unbelievable amount of time testing, finding no answers.

As soon as I read this I ran out with my DRBIII and it worked!

To recap the procedure with the DRB:

Go into the SKIM/SKREEM module, with your 4 digit pin, and disable the TPM system. The yellow tire light on the cluster (which on mine used to blink because of its error state) now turns on solid. The EVIC on mine changed from "Check TPM System" to showing compass and temp.

Go into the Interior and Body section, and to the Cluster. In there, choose Reset learned options. The yellow tire light goes off!

Glad I was able to help! The "learned options" is oddly hidden in the cluster menu for turning off TPMS.
